Interview with Catra and Tri-life in the Bayou City


I am extremely pleased to bring to you an amazing interview with a truly exotic individual: Ultra running's wild child Catra Corbet. We recorded a casual and insightful chat over the phone from Texas to California, and then she came to Texas to run the Rocky Raccoon 100 miler and I joined her for part of the run and recorded some more. This is an interview in the style that only Zentri can bring you; peeling back the layers and really getting to know a person in their own element.

I also tacked on a half hour of me trying to train in Houston, TX while going to a software seminar for a week. I talk about the traffic, training in Endless Pools at Trivantage, how to be a better family man, and the results from my first official half marathon using lab-tested excercise zones.

The whole show is sandwiched with "Bang Bang" by the Peach Stealing Monkeys. I picked this song in honor of the revolvers tattooed on Catra's belly. You can listen to the show here and follow along the show notes for more juicy deets.


  • Intro "Bang Bang" by The Peach Stealing Monkeys.

  • Catra Corbett is heading to Texas in the morning to do her 51st 100 miler at the same location she did her first!

  • We talk about possible weather in Texas for her race.

  • Catra typically runs 80 to 100 miles per week!

  • She's running with Krissy Weiss from Dirty Girl Gaitors.



  • Catra talks about how she went from getting busted for selling speed in 1996 and hanging out in Goth clubs to starting to work out and eventually running ultras. Wild!

  • She signed up for her first marathon without knowing how far it was.

  • We talk about Catra's theory on tattoos.

  • We talk abut my theory on "shotgun effect" tattoos.

  • Do tattoos give you magic powers? Mostly.




  • Catra tells us about her Master Cleanse diet.

  • She elaborates on some of her upcoming events, one being the Pacific Crest Trail through the Sierras.

  • Catra tempts me by offering for me to run with her on one of her 20 mile loops at night during the Rocky Raccoon 100.

  • She will be trying to attempting a new record on the Pacific Crest Trail - 80 days.

  • I tell her about Martin Strehl swimming the Amazon. Catra thinks he's crazy!

  • Chris G. and I drive to the Rocky Raccoon and talk about fixed gear bikes.

  • Hanging out at the Rocky Raccoon with Chris M., talking to runners while waiting to meet Catra.




  • I run three miles through the woods with Catra and Krissy, talking about running, being a vegetarian ultra runner, and life in general.



  • This is Catra's 50th 100 miler!

  • Krissy tells me about how she makes Dirty Girl Gaiters.

  • I tell Chris M. and G. about what it was like running with a celebrity.

  • I'm in a traffic jam on the freeway in Houston, trying to get home.



  • I visit my Great Aunt at a fire station.

  • Triathletes are selfish! Go spend some time with others!

  • I swim in an Endless Pool at Trivantage.

  • Results from my first half marathon!
